Very-low-density lipoprotein ( VLDL ) is a type of lipoprotein made by the liver . VLDL is one of the five major groups of lipoproteins ( chylomicrons , VLDL, low-density lipoprotein , intermediate-density lipoprotein , high-density lipoprotein ) that enable fats and cholesterol to move within the water-based solution of the bloodstream. VLDL is assembled in the liver from triglycerides , cholesterol , and apolipoproteins . VLDL is converted in the bloodstream to low-density lipoprotein (LDL). VLDL particles have a diameter of 30-80 nm . VLDL transports endogenous products, whereas chylomicrons transport exogenous (dietary) products.
